IL-02 special election thread

[nolesfan2011]

I absolutely support Halvorson and oppose the lies being spread by New York bankster Bloomberg. She can't control what rating she gets from the NRA, and does support universal background checks (the ad claims otherwise). Halvorson is the best option for IL-2's families.

It is a shame what happened to Halvorson, and Bloomberg is as corrupt and nefarious as Rove and the Koch Bros, yet Dems cover for him because he is "on there side" (typical spinelessness).

Never mind all the reverse race baiting that went on.. race was a real shame, typical Chicago politics.

Victory for America!

You've been duped by Bloomy's Super PAC campaign too? Lame.

I'm no lefty, but I dunno how any Democrat could vote for Halverson. Pandering to Fox News and the NRA.

Spite. Kelly only won on Super PAC funds.

Normally I'd feel the same, but in this case I'll make an exception. The NRA is usually such an omnipotent juggernaut that can roll over even the most hallowed of American interests, including first responders, teachers, doctors, the chamber of commerce, and families of schoolchildren. Even a Super PAC is an underdog when going up against it.

The NRA didn't fund this race (indeed, if they had it would have backfired). And Halvorson correctly pointed out that this race is about more than gun control, but Kelly wanted to make it a single-issue campaign and Bloomy made it so.

Chicago has a ton of issues, from corruption to poverty, to jobs, to education.. and all Kelly did was harp on the gun issue, because puppet master Bloomberg said so, this isn't a good sign, she is already bought off
